Bonnie Lee

Gilbert, Ariz.

Bonnie Carol (Huff) Lee passed away peacefully on July 02, 2025, at the age of 81 years. She is survived by Larry Lee, her devoted husband of 62 years, daughter Suzanne Lee and son Christopher (Kendall) Lee, and grandma to Aiden and Mitchell Rowley. Her cherished extended family includes sister Barbara Lee and Bob (Gail) Huff; and over 35 caring nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by sisters Jeanne Kaufer, Dolores Paulson and Betty Gibler; and brothers Dayton Huff, Tom Huff, Ralph Huff and Guy Huff.

Her passions in life were teaching elementary education, traveling and family. She was a teacher for 42 years, and was an endearing foster grandma to four foster children during times of their lives when they most needed a loving grandma figure.

Bonnie was born on November 7, 1943, in Kenmare, North Dakota, to Claude and Ruby (Bergo) Huff. She was raised on the family farm in Donnybrook, North Dakota, and was the youngest of ten children.

She loved to bless others and was blessed in return by the love of so many. With her positive attitude, laughter, joy and abounding love, Bonnie will be dearly missed by so many.

A Celebration of Life will be held on August 3, 2025, at Christ Church, Annex, 1120 S Gilbert Road, Gilbert, AZ 85296. Service will begin at 4pm, followed by a reception.
